the FIRST contest starts...

Here we go blog friends...the FIRST giveaway to celebrate my book ..."MAKE ART...studio 490 style"...It's SIMPLE to enter...Just leave a comment here...AND...tell me how many sets of studio 490 stamps you already own...It does NOT matter if you own 1 or all 14...the comment is what counts...and it's your entry for the contest...

We'll do the random drawing thing @ 7am Friday morning...And what will I win you ask????The winner will receive an acrylic storage binder for ...studio 490 stamps.*This was donated by Stampers Anonymous...THANKS MICHELLE & TED!

In the package are the front & back covers and 3 giant binding rings.

I'm thrilled with this storage system...you can easily turn the pages...choose your stamp, use it & put it back on the storage sheet. SIMPLE & organized...just what I like!AND...it will hold the book!

I currently have 3 sets. But my favioite store in Bloomington, Il. has more for me! They are like potato chips..you can't just have one! Can't wait for the new releases. I'm sure they will be FUNTASTIC! Keep the products comin'.

Let's see, I believe I am up to seven sets now. I love the sets for a couple of reasons..the designs are GREAT, cling mount is AWESOME, love the HUGE BACKGROUNDS (need more, please), love, love, love the SHORT SAYINGS/PHRASES (not too mushy); I use the TREE stamp on everything. I guess that's more than a couple of reasons..oh well. I need something to store them in....Wendy, you ROCK!

I have all your stamps and in quantity as I am a retailer of them in the UK..........we loved your feature in the Craft Stamper magazine, we love your stamps and I am on tender hooks for the next release and that BOOK............I have you linked on my blog too. I would love acrylic storage for my demo set of stamps, i keep getting them in and out of the bags and seeing yours at CHA made me want one bigtime...........i need it Wendy so i can ...........make art lolWendy(yes i am wendy also)

Okay...I get the pity points...I own no studio 490 stamps sets :( :(I don't get out shopping much and I don't shop the net so when I do get out it's hit or miss if I actually find any of the things I'm looking for.Boo hoo for me.

I don't have any studio 490 stamp sets YET! I want them ALL, but I've been unemployed for the past 9 months so things are tight. However, I will finally be starting a new job later this month, and your stamps are the first on my wish list:)

I own 3 sets, plus have a few individual Studio 490 stamps. Very anxious to see the new ones and already saving my $ to purchase some more! Although I made my own very cool binder to hold my Studio 490 stamp sets, I would still LOVE to win the binder you and Stampers Anonymous are giving away! Take care!!

I currently own three sets of "Wendy" stamps two of which I just picked up from my lss ... going to play with them today .. could really use the binder to start storing them in!!!Thanks for the give away.

I don't have any stamp sets :( But would I ever love to have them all. I have been on a non-shopping spree for so long now. It's no fun, but we have to eat. I would love to wen this book.Thanks for the chance to win.

on my wish list I have them all, but alas, I don't have any .... I do love your style and your blog - you soooo remind me of my daughter! someday - someday when the economy turns around and hubby is back to real work, funds will be flowing again and I will be buying things from my ever growing wish list!Thanks for the fun!Sandra

I must confess that I did not pick up any of the stamps at the RSC in March. I had spent waaaaay too much $$ on all of the TH stuff to share with my sil/bff when she came to visit me the next month!

We are both going on the cruise in October (soooo excited!!), so I'm thinking THIS time at the RSC (on the 11th), I'll spend all my RSC money on YOUR stamps. I mean really, I need to get her some too so we can start playing right? LOL

Thank you for having such a great give-away Wendy! See you next weekend :)

Oh dear - I have eleven sets - and I love, love, love them all. I keep mine on little rings but would live giant rings that can hold the book as well - when I can get my hands on it - lol. Kust love your stamps and your art ....

Sad but true, I own none! I know can you believe it. I want them all and they are all on my wish list for my birthday (Sept 22) and Christmas. If I win the storage binder I guess I will be forced to treat myself to some stamps sooner than later.

I own only one set this week.HOWEVER, I plan on making a few purchases next weekend at the Rubber Stamp Show in Carson, CA. I really enjoyed your demo and learned some wonderful techniques the last time you were in Carson. Thank you so much for sharing your gifted talent and the wonderful works of art that you create. I will see you next weekend!

Unfortunately I don't have any at the moment. You have so many to choose from and I just can't afford them all. Which is what I really want. But that doesn't mean you don't inspire me. The way you use your stamps is inspirational. hugs Shelley

I only have 4 sets but during my window shopping online I am always looking at yours. I have decided to wait until the new sets make their premiere as I know I am definitely going to want all of those, especially the mini art set. I was just telling someone this weekend at Ten Seconds STudio that I wasn't really a flowery kinda gal but you have definitely turned me around cuz your grunge take on the horticulture is just right!!!!! Love your stuff.Penci Petty

Well before the Orlando event this past weekend I had none, but thanks to my Mom, I now own 5 of your studio 490 stamp set and am can't wait to have them all.I must say, my Mom and I had fun at your booth and LOOOOOOVED your work so much that we can't wait for the weekend to have fun playing with all the stuff we got. Thank you for taking your time in showing us new techniques.

The postman bought me a nice surprise today...2 more of your fabulous stamp sets! That brings my total to 6 sets plus the great acrylic covers. Can't wait for the Carson show to see you again and shop, shop, shop for new stamps.

I don't have any. Money is tight so I have save for just about everything these days. DH laid off my hours cut way back. So you see where I'm at. love your line of stamps though. Will have some on my wish list for my birthday.

None, yet. I discovered your blog fairly recently. I do have a growing wish list. My first wish...that your stamps were easier to find!I will meet you and hopefully use your stamps on the cruise. Can't wait!Eileen

I have 8 sets at the moment. I'm really looking forward to this summer's new release. You are such a tease Wendy! I know there will be some smaller stamps, BUT I want to see them and I want to see them NOW!

Hey Wendy Girl....long time...so I had been thinking at one point I was going to write a book myself "101 Ways to Use Studio 490 Stamps"...sounded good to me but seems you've already got it covered!! HEHEHEHE Stamp Sets....6-7 I think...not with me right now so I am GUESSING!!YOU GO GIRL!!! ROCK IN!!

I am happy to announce that I have 11 Studio 490 stamps and I bought them all this past weekend because I just fell in love! The acrylic covers are fantastic for storage and for decorating as well. Good luck to you all and may the luckiest win! Best! Olga, MIA, FL

Hi Wendy! Can't wait for your book to come out. I have 5 sets of your wonderful stamps. I love to make the grunge flowers with them! Thanks for designing a new mini set for us...can't wait for those little guys. I would love to have the binder set for my stamps...pick me, random generator!

I have 10 sets and yet lust for more! You'll be happy to hear that they are the most ink-stained stamps I own - even worse than Tim's and others that I've had for years. Looking forward to the next release. (I'm still hoping for a chicken wire background . . . just sayin'. LOL)

I met you at Winter CHA and fell in love with your stamps and style. I've been following your blog since then. I only have one of your stamps but intend to get many, many more! Can't wait to see the new release.Susan
